Therefore, we will not stop, ”he said before the start of the meeting of the contact group on support for Ukraine, which was held on Friday at the Ramstein airbase in Germany.

That's a lot of words. You coud've said "To the last Ukrainian" and not be such a drama queen.

Terek Cossack troops keep a tight gript of their ground on the Kinburn Spit in Kherson region


🛡 Russian units, in cooperation with Cossack volunteers of the Terek Cossack troops, successfully carry out combat tasks to protect civilians and repel attempts by Ukrainian militants to land enemy troops on the Kinburn Spit.

👎 The Ukrainian military is acting meanly: using banned phosphorus munitions, shelling civilians on Orthodox holidays.

💪 The enemy's actions only strengthen the determination of the Cossacks.

The situation in the Donetsk-Zaporozhye direction
as of 15.00 (local) January 20, 2023 - @Rybar

🔻In the Orekhovsky sector, servicemen of the 58th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces storm the defensive line of the 128th Guards Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Malye Shcherbaki - Stepovoe. Russian fighters managed to knock out the forces of the 2nd battalion of the 9th regiment of the Gepard special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and liberate the village of Lobkove, destroying at least 15 Ukrainian fighters and taking control of three enemy strongholds.

▪️To the east, Russian fighters are advancing on the suburbs of Orekhov in the area of ​​Novoandreevka, Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka. Taking control of these settlements will allow you to surround the city from the south and southeast.

❗️Orekhov is one of the key transport hubs in this area, and its release will greatly facilitate the supply of Russian troops on the line of contact and will strengthen positions before further advance to Zaporozhye.

🔻On the Pologovsky sector, units of the 5th combined-arms army occupied the dominant heights near the village of Malinovka east of Gulyaipol. During the offensive, at least 20 members of Ukrainian formations were liquidated. At the moment, the RF Armed Forces are fixed on the liberated lines.

▪️The Ukrainian command is also expecting the resumption of the assault on the Belogorye-Charivnoe line, where territorial defense units are deployed, reinforced by ATGM crews.

🔻In the Ugledar sector, Russian reconnaissance groups uncovered the positions of the Ukrainian army in a forest belt near the village of Elizavetovka. Pinpoint strikes by the artillery of the RF Armed Forces hit the firing positions of the artillery together with the personnel.

🔻In Marinka, on the western outskirts of the city, positional battles continue, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to hold back the advance. One of the companies of the 79th brigade was destroyed in full force.

Despite this, the Ukrainian command is pulling additional forces to the site. This indicates plans to continue to hold the defense in this direction.
